[Help] How to set a player invisible for network

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Hey there!
I am currently making a character creator script for a fivem server. Therefore I want to make myself invisible for every other player while I am creating my character. I already tried NetworkSetEntityInvisibleToNetwork() but nothing happened. I also triggered this function every frame but I was still visible to other players. I can make a entity invisible with SetEntityVisible() though but after that I cant see myself anymore.
I hope anybody can help me and thanks in advance!

You can mess around with the SetEntityAlpha native instead of using the *Invisible* ones. As for your character being visible on your screen and nobody else’s, run a check of some sort to check if the invoking source matches the playerId (or something similar) so it sets the alpha only for others.

Best approach is to use routing buckets.

I fixed the problem. Here is my code if somebody is interested:

local playerPed = PlayerPedId()

Citizen.CreateThread(function()

    SetEntityVisible(playerPed, false)

    while true do

        Citizen.Wait(0)

        SetEntityLocallyVisible(playerPed)

    end

end)

Looking for a way to make the players alpha 50 so they can still see themselves but that does not work with SetEntityLocallyVisible(playerPed) any idea on a fix?
